SUBJECT: GRB 190604B: Enhanced Swift-XRT position

P.A. Evans, M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne and A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) 
report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.

Using 206 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT
images for GRB 190604B, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray
position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources
to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 297.54058, -32.97803 which is equivalent
to:

RA (J2000): 19h 50m 9.74s
Dec (J2000): -32d 58' 40.9"

with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).

This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest
position can be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position
enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans
et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).
